Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

[Ed Hillel]

if May goes to the Twins instead I'll be furious

Well presumably the Sox will be getting something back for May...

This is what it sounds like to me is happening but that doesn't make much sense either.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So May to the Twins?????

 

[cahlton]

Dustin May better be coming here.

Hoping for the same thing, but it seems unlikely given that the first reports called Verdugo the "centerpiece."

 

[Average Reds]

No prospects and we paid for Price? That can't be accurate.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that cannot be true. What is the point of trading Price if you're still picking up his salary?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Any time you can trade a top 5 player in the league and a good pitcher (albeit on a negative contract) for a mediocre outfielder with a bad back, you have to jump on that.

Yeah what the hell would the Twins be adding to the deal in order to land May?

 

[bankshot1]

Betts and the Sox are paying 50% of Price.

For chopped liver?

 

[Madmartigan]

If we’re still on the hook for half of Price’s salary, I’m not happy.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I'm very confused.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

Maybe we can get Brusdar Graterol. /sniff

 

[strek1]

If Pederson is going to LAA what the hell is MINN getting?

 

[Yaz4Ever]

Maybe we're getting Rocco Baldelli to fill the manager spot

 

[mauf]

Pretty easy decision, can’t pay him 35 million a year until he’s nearly 40. Do what you gotta do.

This isn’t the Lester debacle, not close really.

Yup. If you listen to the fans, you’ll be sitting with them soon enough.

With the farm system bare, they’re going to need to spend shrewdly to compete in the early 2020s. Committing $35 million or more per year to a right fielder isn’t consistent with that. So even in the short to medium term, this was a necessary move. I’m not happy with the moves DD made to make this move necessary, but kudos to CB for being decisive.

Edit: I like the deal a lot less if we’re picking up half the tab for Price.

Verdugo annnnd

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Maybe some of you should wait for all the details before you jump.

Early reporting is often accurate

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Chaim Kenobi, you're our only hope.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

If we got Verdugo and May, I’d be less annoyed

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Maybe some of you should wait for all the details before you jump.

Are you new here?

 

[patinorange]

Maybe some of you should wait for all the details before you jump.

What fun is that?

 

[patoaflac]

Or if LA starts Price, you may have just given the Yankees the World Series.

Yankees to the world series? This is not the 20th century.

 

[DJnVa]

Can we ask everyone that's "giving up on the Sox" or baseball to give us a date? Because a lot of you guys are still posting and that's not giving up.

 

[E5 Yaz]

It's Iowa

Nightengale: Price stays with the Dodgers.

David Price will be staying put with the #Dodgers, but Kenta Maeda may be on the move.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Feinsend says May is NOT involved

Most of those guys don't even stay out of the game thread when they say goodnight

You're on the brink of having me start a thread dedicating the Yankee season to you, just fyi.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

This transcends baseball

 

[Rusty13]

Yes.

Whats your over/under on wins?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

fuck, this going to be an underwhelming deal isn't it

 

[Earthbound64]

Maybe some of you should wait for all the details before you jump.

If all the posts in here are accurate, this board is going to be much quieter this coming season.

I'm not giving up. Just realized when Laddie posted that I don't need MLB.tv any more with the new cable package I have.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

If we had the chance to get Dustin May and didn't take it, I'm going to lose my mind. I love May more than Luzardo (injuries). May is fantastic with amazing control.

 

[tims4wins]

We should all just go to bed and see what the deal is in the morning. This is painful.

 

[edoug]

We need a like or better yet love button.

Dodgers World Series Odds: +430

Really you feel the need to troll here Jon?

 

[jon abbey]

Nightengale: Price stays with the Dodgers.

David Price will be staying put with the #Dodgers, but Kenta Maeda may be on the move.

Now this starts to make more sense, MIN needs pitching now, so they get Maeda and send BOS a prospect.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

That's not what I was hoping to hear.

Nice

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Let’s go Dodgers!!!! I kinda loved them to begin with (great unis, great stadium, long drought); now I’m all in. Can we, er, they throw in Devers while they’re at it?

 

[jon abbey]

Really you go to troll here Jon?

It's a long-time thing with me and him, not trolling anyone else. Sorry.

 

[ifmanis5]

Gammons, just watching.

Hey

 

[BaseballJones]

Whats your over/under on wins?

If I was Vegas I’d put it at 85, but personally I wouldn’t be surprised if they got to 90.

 

[bosockboy]

To buy talent.
